Helluuuuuuuuu

[CatStarPrime]

I'm going to be 50 in August.

IRL I am Responsible Manager type. Yadda yadda telephone modems with handset acoustic couplers, BBS, Pong, Timex Sinclair, Ti994A, TRS-80 and so on. "Gold Box" D&D, Compuserve, GENie, original Neverwinter Nights when AOL was pay-by-the-hour.

I don't play the fast-twitch-combo games, the Korean-style combat like B&S, BDO, because my reflexes aren't there. But. I am not sure they were ever there.

PC, keyboard and mouse. Sometimes the middle finger on my left hand gets a little clicky. Left wrist doesn't work as well as it used to, because I used to play a lot of Simutronics "Dragonrealms", a text game, with a text parser, and a lot of Trolls (monster kind).

(Had to type in commands; could shortcut the parser; "Attack Troll" was "ATT TR" and the A, T, and R keys are all on the left side of a QWERTY kb )

I dropped into ARR, I think, in October after ARR launched. Right into New Gridania, at night, during... I suppose, now, it would have been the All Saints' event. Bombs / Bomb FATES all over New and Old Gridania, Bombs everywhere, people having a grand old crazy time, killing Bombs, having Bomb Ash show up in my inventory and not having a clue what to do with it.

I'm hoping - hoping hard - Someone (*cough* Elon *cough*) finds a way to turn us into digital consciousnesses before my corporeal existence terminates, so I can live on in the future-equivalent of Eorzea for real and ever, a LitRPG book brought to reality.

I'm personally 24 and almost all my FF friends are 30+ except of few people. I don't even think that your age is that important.
Not mention that calling 32 old is... weird. You are young. And well, you will be so as long as you are young in your soul. :P Sometimes people in their 20's act as if they are 99, and people in their 70's act as if they are 25.
